Wyoming Gov: State has resources to train workers

May 30, 2008

Work force development and training should happen within the community colleges rather than through a separate technical or training school system, Gov. Dave Freudenthal said Thursday.

In remarks conveyed electronically to the Governor's Summit on Workforce Solutions at the University of Wyoming Union, Freudenthal said the seven community colleges should be helped to develop the capacity to address the work force needs in the state.

He said that while employers, particularly those in the service industry, are having difficulty finding employees, the state should consider itself fortunate to have sufficient resources to develop solutions to these problems.
